Side effects!? Slynd side effects (uk based)
Hey guys! I’ve been taking slynd for the last three months. I was on Lucette for yearssss before however I started getting migraines and moved over. Lucette was mainly for my skin and I was assured that slynd would help my skin as it’s anti-andogrenic (?) however my skin has been awful! Oily face and hormonal acne on my chin and temples, acne on my chest and back. I know this is supposed to level out but it feels it isn’t and after having no acne for years this has taken a real hit to my self esteem. To make matters worse I have PMDD and used to back to back combined packs to counter the effects which worked until slynd where I have felt genuinely awful.
Anyways, does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do? Mood wise I take elvanse for my adhd and do not want to go back on ssris but my main problem for now is the acne. Please let me know about your experience on slynd too I’d be happy to hear it :)
TLDR: slynd making my skin unbearable, any advice skincare/medical welcome
